Why is it so rare for women to make havdalah for themselves?

(Do you know a reason that doesn't involve the word "mustache"?)

And whatever that reason is, does it apply to saying borei me'orei ha'eish
on Tish'ah beAv?

Because I think the implications of existing minhag is that the men do
borei me'orei ha'eish with berov am, and their families light an avuqah
candle and make the berakhos themselves at home.

Lemaaseh, I made borei me'orei ha'eish at home between getting my
qinos and crocs and leaving for shul. But only because you posted
something that made me think about it.

Tir'u baTov!
